History
The station signed on the air on April 7, 1948. It was owned by the Norwalk Broadcasting Company with studios on Main Street at Wall Street.[3] It has been assigned the WNLK call letters by the Federal Communications Commission since it was first licensed.[4]
It was sold by Cox Radio, Inc. in 2011 and initially operated by Sacred Heart University via a local marketing agreement (LMA). Prior to 2011, WNLK and 1400 WSTC Stamford simulcast a commercial news/talk format.[5] When the university acquired WNLK, it used the station to air its public radio service. On January 25, 2016, WNLK dropped its public radio simulcast with WSHU (1260 AM) and went silent. When it returned to the air on June 1, 2016, it carried a brokered Christian radio format.
In August 2019, WNLK was acquired by the Veritas Catholic Radio network, and began airing Catholic programming[6]
